I would swap the fuel filters, that seems to be the cheapest solution to the problem....
I know this seems silly, but are you sure that you are full of fuel?.....I have had that happen to me.....I swore it was full....It wasn't though.
hopefully your insurance has a towing provision....or a...
Here is a pic of mine! Your battery box probably looks different. You will notice 2 extra wires leading to the back of the cab, they are for when you run yours down and your buddy with a 5 ton or Deuce jumps you. You will see the junction box on the aft starboard corner of your truck....if it is...
Yesteday I had the opportunity to do my very first modification on the 5 ton.
I drove down to Monroe, Mi and met Tim with Wolverine Technologies and got a chance to see his very cool Duece.
I called Tim as I was on my way down there and he put me together a kit for my multi fuel.
I am...
I I just went out and started my truck and checked the lights and new alternator and I think I may have a little issue with the temperature.
I was intending on warming up the truck to operating them to check all the gauges and fluids.....so i let it warm up for about 8 minutes and hopped in...
Hey brother, welcome to the site. Go check out Craigslist Searcher and you will find a Duece or 5 ton nearby you. I would vote against driving that bad boy more than 20 miles to home....unless you get it insured and in your name right after the sale.
I would then recommend setting up a wrecker...
Well, I have made a few posts here about my recent Green Iron purchase....and I am not afraid to admit that I am addicted. I bought my 1966 M54A2 off a guy from Craigslist and I couldn't be happier....well I might be if the truck was a Cummins or if I found a brick of gold in the glovebox...

So,
I went to the Secretary of State (DMV) here in Michigan with not a single piece of paper from the previous owner of the truck.....and to my suprise I walked out with a temporary tag and a title reciept. The title and the historic plate will be in my hands in less than 30 days.
I got a...

d. Where you bought it: Oxford Michigan from a guy who's brother bought it from a govt auction (not sure where)

Killer deal, I go out for a walk around the block and you guys have got me set straight!
I like the idea of driving the car up on the one wheel and removing the outside one...I will file that one away for a just in case situation.
Thanks guys, got to get her legal and then I will make a trip...
So, the drivers side, rear forward tire is flat and I have to take it into the shop to repair it....they are all freaked out about taking it off the truck...I think they are just ignorant to the specifics of the truck and they wanted to give me a hard time because the owner was around....but...
Combat locks...the passenger door is broken and wont open from the outside....guess that is Detroit proof...might pay off one day, unwanted passengers are never fun.
I live at 32 Mile and 94, most people have no clue when I use the town name....So I stick to Detroit....internationally recognized......then they ask me if I have armored windows to drive downtown!
